“Valve-in-Head” Explained
A SIMPLIFIED DEFINITION OF THE GREAT
ENGINEERING PRINCIPLE UPON WHICH ALL
BUICK MOTOR CARS ARE CONSTRUCTED -
BEFORE any man, or woman, can buy a motor
car intelligently he, or she,must first acquire
a primary knowledge of motor car mechanics.
This knowledge is easily acquired. A motor car,
in the very nature of tiling-, involves a consider
able outlay of money, and for that reason a mo
tor purchase should be made intelligently. The
buyer should know exactly why he makes a par
ticular choice. lie should not take the salosiqar.’s
word alone. On the contrary, he should he able
to tell, of his own knowledge, whether the sales
man speaks from conviction, or merely from en
thusiasm.
OF FIRST importance, then, the' buyer should
understand that an automobile motor is by
far the most important part of a motor car, and
that the whole question of the car's worth de
pends upon its motor. Next in importance the
buyer should understand that all automobile mo
tors are heat engines. Regardless of their form
of construction, or their number of cylinders, all
automobile motors are heat engines. By that it
is meant that heat is the force whnh furnishes
the power of the motors. To reach an under
standing of automobile motors it is first necessary
to get this fundamental fact firmly fixed in mind.
Gasoline is the fuel which supplies the heat. In
other words, gasoline is the “raw material” for
making the heat, just as cotton is the raw mate
rial for making cloth.
WHEN the gasoline is taken into the carbure
tor it is mixed with air and vaporized.
That is, it is transformed into gas. This gas is
then taken into the cylinders, and by means of
an electric spark it is burned, or, as we generally
say, it is “exploded.” Gasoline vapor burns so
very quickly that we speak of the transformation
as an “explosion.” If you could burn a stick of
stovewood or a lump of coal as quickly as you
can a quantity of gasoline, they, too, would ex
plode.”
The burning, or “exploding - of gasoline, cre
ates a very high degree of heat —about 2500 de
grees Fahrenheit, to be exact- Heat, as every
body knows, explodes, and it is this expansion of
heat ugainst the piston which causes the automo
bile to move.
A fresh charge of gasoline is taken into the
cylinder each alternate downward stroke of the
piston, or as we say, the “power” stroke. At
the end of the power stroke the 2500 degrees of
heat derived from that charge of gasoline is gone.
It was used up in the effort necessary to drive the
piston downward. Then comes the exhaust
stroke, then another power stroke, with anoth
er 2500 degrees of heat. This process goes on
continully in each cylinder while the automobile
s running.
The heat, you see, pushes the piston down
ward, and this movement of the piston is trans
ferred to the crankshaft, and thence to the rear
axle, and thence to the rear wheels. So you see
it is htat that causes the automobile to move.
%
So far we have been talking about all automo
bile motors. Now you shall see wherein the
Buick Valve-in-Head motor differs from the oth
er types. We could never hope to make you un
derstand just what this difference is unless we
first point out to you that the propelling force of
all automobile motors, including the Buick, is
heat.
AS A MATTER of plain common sense it can
be understood that it is to the utmost inter
est of the automobile owner to possess a car
which uses the very highest possible percentage
of the heat derived from gasoline to push the
piston. All of the heat which goes elsewhere
than against the piston is waste. The Buick mo
tor conserves, and uses, a higher percentage of
this heat than any other motor, as you shall see.
When gasoline is exploded in the cylinder of
an automobile mot/>r there are just two places it
can go, just two avenues of escape for it-
Winder Mobile Cos. GEORGIA
First, it can find an outlet by pushing the pis
ton downward.
Second, it can escape through the cylinder
walls into the water that is used to keep the cyl
inders from getting too hot.
NOW it stands to reason that the automobile
owner wants the largest possible amount of
that heat to go against the piston. That is what
he buys gasoline fur —to move his c:ir. In all au
tomobiles it is necessary, however, to have water
surrounding the cylinders, for otherwise they
would get so hot that they would melt.
And'right at this point is where Buick supe
riority begins. In the Buick more of the heat
goes against the piston, and less into the water,
than in any other motor. This is because of the
Buick valve arrangement.
IN THE Buick motor the valves are in the tops
or heads, of the cylinders, hence the name
“Valve-in-Head.” This means that the valves
are in a spot that is already water-jacketed, so
that no additional water-jacketed space is neces
sary to accommodate them.
In the “L” head and “T” head motors, on*
the other hand, the valves are placed in little
compartments alongside the upper parts of the
cylinders —like an alcove to a room —and these
little compartments must be water-cooled, ex
actly the same as the cylinder proper. That
means a larger water-jacketed area for each cyl
inder, and therefore an increased opportunity for
heat to escape.
THE cylinder walls are hollow, and through
this hollow portion a current of water passe ß
continually, to take up the heat which would oth
erwise melt the iron of the cylinders. And in
all motors except the Buick Valve-in-Head there
are these little compartments, or “valve pock
ets,” as they are called, also with hollow walls
with water flowing through them- They are
simply an addition to the cylinder.
Thus, you see, there is less opportunity for heat
to escape into water in the Buick Valve-in-Head
mortor. That means more heat against the pis
ton, which means, in turn, more power for the
rear wheels.
YOG often have heard that the Buick is the
most powerful motor. Well that valve ar
rangement is the reason for that greater power.
The Buick motor will develop from 15 to 20 per
cent more power than similar sized motors of the
other types, and the reason for that greater pow
er is simply* the fact that in the Buick motor
there is 15 or 20 per cent less waste heat.
To waßte heat by allowing it to escape into the
water surrounding unnecessary valve pockets is
exactly the same as buying five gallons of gasoline
and then pouring onegollon of it into the gutter.
You might just as well throw it away in the be
ginning as to use it to create heat to be absorbed
by the water that surrounds the valve pockets in
these motors of faulty design.
Now you see why knowing motorists demand
the Buick. When we thus explain Buick supe
riority we do not deal in generalities. We do not
tell vou Buick power is “ample” and let it go at
that. On the contrary we tell you exactly why
it is ample.
THESE Buick facts *are unanswerable. They
can : t l>e debated- No rival salesman can
explain them away. His only hope is that you,
as an automobile buyer, will never understand
the engineering laws which govern the operation
of automobile motors. His only chance is to ob
scure your mind with generalities, and to talk to
you about things which are relatively unimpor
tant.
Make sure you understand this Buick Valve-in-
Head principle. It is the greatest and most im
portant principle in the whole field of motor car
operation.
